Yep, that's the link I posted the last time the claim was made about not saying anything about not caring for children.

I totally agree. Especially "dear". For some reason "dear" just really annoys me and always sounds condescending unless it's coming from a sweet little old lady. :-)

Why many Moms choose to homeschool, as well. I am surprised that there is anyone out there who doesn't know how crucial the early years are, and how much they are capable of learning in the early years. That's why I wanted my kids to be both as bonded to me as they are as well as exposed to as much as possible early on, so that they would come to expect a rich, stimulating, developmentally appropriate learning environment.

I wonder about pushing kids, too. How do you know that your son's mathematical skills are developing appropriately if you do not understand the math he is learning? Do you just allow him to do what he wants? Don't they have enrichment classes or a gifted program where you live?

just a difference in how we want our kids to be raised. i cant imagine having my kids spend 7+ hours at school and coming home and doing more school work before having a chance to have time to play. and weather does much bother my kids, hot or cold they are outside playing or they have friends over and are in their rooms or at friends houses. they have after school activities at least two days a week. and my oldest is normally at work or at cheerleading until about 7pm. while i consider myself a hands on my i dont play with my kids when they are with their friends or out playing with each other - i am their mother not their playmate. it sounds like your kids are a little more isolated than mine are - while we live in the country it is in a small subdivision and there are alot of kids and they all pretty much play together. so for me to say that homework should be done everyday at a certain time just wouldnt work, because we are not always home at the same time every day - and i tend to leave that up to my kids anyway.

I tried to leave it up to my kids and give them time off after school, but I found that they just didn't get around to it, until bedtime...They have to do it right after school, then they can go play without it hanging over their heads. Once we leave for activities it is too late to get that work done. I do feel sorry for them, but at least they are really motivated to get it done. Fortunately all the other kids parents' are as mean as I, so the party doesn't get rolling until we have been home for about an hour.

my point is that where he goes is both a preschool and a daycare, the the requirements for both are the same and the cirriculum for both is the same. what i am disagreeing with is your contention that because of certain requirements your preschool is somehow different than a daycare - daycares and preschools are interchangeable.

wow, you didnt know your 5 year old had a capacity to learn. my son is only 3 and he has been learning for 3 years now, no waiting until he is 5 here. i cant believe anyone would wait or think that a child was incapable of learning or being independent until age 5. those things do not negate the need for care.and you are right the more i hear about other school districts the more certain i am that we made a great choice when we chose ours - i would never send my kids to a school where the teachers werent smart enough to realize that you can not educate a child without providing that child with care. what exactly do you think are the differences between the way a daycare operates and the way an elementary school runs? sitting here i cant think of any. daycares do alot of educating of children and schools provide alot of care for children other than education - at least the ones i have been associated with
